2. Describe the most significant event or learning experience of the day that you either
observed or participated.
This was my first time in the nursery so before today I didn’t have much experience with newborn
care or newborn head to toes. The nurse really taught me a lot and allowed me to get as much hands on
experience as I could. She walked me through each step of the assessment, and we went over the norms
for each system. I feel much more confident with assessing newborns after today.
3. Identify course and clinical objectives and describe how you met those objectives for the
day. See course packet for specific community site objectives.
-Implement effective interpersonal skills with childbearing family members, women
clients and their families, peer, and health team members. I was able to talk with mom
and educate her on proper feeding techniques with the nurse.
-Uses the nursing process to formulate a plan of nursing care, which incorporates holistic
health care needs of the childbearing family and women throughout the life span. We
identified a decrease in the newborn’s temp and made a care plan to increase temp (placed
under warmer)
Integrate relevant evidenced-based nursing research into the planning & implementation of
nursing care for childbearing families & women. Learned about care and assessment in
lecture and was able to implement it today.
